ṃhśԲ (सिंहशासन) refers to the “teaching of the lion�, according to the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The Command of Authority (󾱰ñ) is the first one. The Command of Grace (ñ) is the second. If it is attained in due order along with the transmission duly transmitted from that time on one becomes a teacher. [...] These two kinds or aspects of the Command are two energies. The Command of Authority [i.e., 󾱰ñ] is Rudraśakti and the Command of Grace [i.e., ñ] is Śāmbhavī. Rudraśakti, the Command of Authority, is the form the Command assumes initially in order to remove impurity. The teacher, or sometimes the deity directly, transmits this to the aspirant by looking at him with the ‘Gaze of the Lion� (ṃh屹ǰ첹Բ). A hallmark of the transmission, it is accordingly called the ‘Teaching of the Lion� (ṃhśԲ).
